STEPS TO IMPEACH
IMPORTERS TAKEN
Billingsley Attorney to Be
Called by Defense to Deny
Suggestion of Bribery.
BOTH WITNESSES BITTER
Testimony That Lawyer Told Them
Gill Regretted Failure to Get
$100,000 for Franchise Is
Given on Examination.
SEATTLE, "Wash., March 15. Logan
Billingsley. principal wltneas for the
Government In the' so-called 'whisky
Craft trial, was recalled to the wit
ness stand today at the request of the
counsel for the defense, who said they
xrlshed to lay the foundation for im
peachment of the witness.
The defendants in the case axe May
or Hiram C Gill, Chief of Police
Charles L Becklngham, ex-Sheriff
Hobert T. Hodge, and City Detectives
Peyser, Poolman, Doom and McLennan.
The name of Georgre Vanderveer, for
kner counsel for the BUllngsleys and
former Prosecuting Attorney, was con
tinually mentioned today, and counsel
or the defense announced that Vander
reer would be called as a witness for
the defense.
Oluuice for 9100,000 Brlle Hinted.
Logan Billingsley, In his nw testi
mony, said: .
"George Vanderveer told me that
tie knew the Mayor could have ob
tained 1100,000 for helping some rail
road to get a franchise, or something
about a franchise and that the Mayor
bad kicked himself ever since because
be did not take It."
It was evident from the questions di
rected at Logan and Fred Bdlllngsley
today by the defense that Vanderveer
expected to contradict them on the most
Vital point of their testimony, which Is
that Vanderveer had arranged with
Mayor Gill the compromise under whose
terms Logan Billingsley swore he paid
$4000 to the Mayor, getting In return
seized papers, the dropping of suits al
ready begun, and promise of protection
In future. Both brothers showed ani
mosity toward Vanderveer today, Fred
being the bitterest.
Former Attorney Accused.
The younger Billingsley swore today
that Vanderveer "was drunk Christmas
when we were in trouble and he ought
to have been attending to our busi
ness." Fred Billingsley declared on the
Witness stand today:
"If Vanderveer tells all he knows he
Will be indicted himself!"
Fred Billingsley testified today that
Chief Beckingham gave him advice
about removing cases of liquor seized
by the Sheriff and stored in a ware
house. The liquor, according to wit
ness, was sold by the Billingsley s and
the Sheriff supposed the stuff had been
stolen by outsiders.
Just before adjournment tonight the
Government announced that It would
call as a witness Or. Mark A. Matthews,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
to whom ..Logan Billingsley gave J1000
to "clean up the town," according to
Logan's testimony.
Honey Used to Enforce Law.
The Government announced that It
would prove that some of this money
was given by Dr. Matthews to Sergeant
Victor Putnam's police dry squad for
payment of the expenses of its opera
tions. Sergeant Putnam, recalled by the
prosecution, said Chief Beckingham had
uked him to "lay off" on the Eyres
Transfer Company, as It appeared to be
doing a legitimate business. Witness
told the chief the company was "as
had as any of them." Four months
later Putnam raided the Eyres ware
bouse, making a large seizure of liquor.
It is expected that the Government
will conclude Its case tomorrow morn

ALBANY POLICE! FTTfD SMUGGLED
LIQUOR. IN BLANKET ROLLS.
Discovery Is Blade In Seank for
Stolen Goods JTwo Men Go to
Jail for lOO Days Each.
ALBANY, Or March 15, (Special.)
A new method of smuggling liquor
Into bone-dry Oregon was unearthed
by the police here yesterday when two
men traveling as hobos were captured
with 24 quarts of whisky In their pos
session. This liquor was concealed In
blanket rolls, exactly like those car
rled by workmen beating their way on
freight trains.
The discovery was quite by accident
for at the time the police were search
ing for stolen goods and not for liquor,
Earlier this week there were rob
beries at Harrisburg and Junction and
Chief of Police Catlin issued orders
that all men found on freight trains be
searched thoroughly. Under this order
Officers F-odgers and McKey were
searching a freight train at the Albany
depot early yesterday morning and
ordered these two men, found riding in
a boxcar, to open their packs. The
liquor was then found.
The two men Insisted they had th4
goods for their own use only, but
Justice of the Peace Swan, before whom
they pleaded guilty to a charge of
receiving, possessing and transporting
liquor unlawfully fined them $200 each.
In default of payment they went to
Jail for 100 days.
It is believed that the liquor was

23 and San Diego as his residence;
ber age as 19 and Los Angeles as her
residence.
Today In Jail Taylor declared that he

Governor Lister Approves Plan
for Teachers' Retirement.
PEHSIOflBILLSIGHEO
BRIDGE CARS LEGALIZED
Probate Code, Absentee Voting, In
ter-County Ferry Operation and
Irrigation Regulation Are
In Day's Business.
OLYMPIA. Wash. MVirh Ifi Ra
cial.) Governor Lister signed the
teachers' retirement bill today, under
the terms of which teachers may be
assured of an annuity of $480 upon
retirement after 30 years of service,
15 of which must be in the state and
12 in the same distrlot. Funds con
tributed entirely by teachers are es
tablished by district directors upon pe
tition of a majority of teachers employed.
A total contribution of $720 must be
paid into the fund before a teacher
becomes eligible to annuity. After 85
years of service, 15 In the state, a
teacher becomes eligible If employed
in the aistrlct when a fund Is estab
lished there. Disability annuity of
$420 for a maximum of two years' is
also provided under special terms of
the act.
Other bills approved by the Governor
today include an act to legalize laying
of streetcar tracks upon approaches to
the Interstate bridge at Vancouver,
authorizing lnter-county operation of
ferries, the probate code, amendments
making the absentee voting bill ap
plicable to primary elections, regula
tion of midwife practice, and irriga
tion district regulation amendments
contained in H. B. 126.
Five sections of H. B. 876 imposing
a license tax upon dogs In rural dis
tricts were vetoed, and remaining sec
tions, providing for destruction or con
finement of vicious dogs approved.
The Governor argues that keeping dogs
on farms should be encouraged rather
than discouraged on account of their
usefulness there, that making the as
sessor a county dog catcher would in
terfere with his more important duties
and that a fund deficit would likely be
created by the method of licensing pro
posed. Beetions approved provide for the
killing on sight of dogs attacking chil
dren or domestic animals outside the
owner's nrooertv. and require him to
destroy or confine animals complained
of. Today's work leaves the Governor
with 14 bills, nearly all important, to
dispose of by Tuesday night.
